Stalker Development

My wife Denise and I greatly enjoyed driving the Stalker around town, the people involved with the Stalker community and the relatively low key racing I did with it.

I also greatly enjoyed designing and implementing numerous engine, chassis, shock, spring rate, aerodynamic etc. improvements to the car. It won numerous events and was pictured in several enthusiast magazines. At Virginia International Raceway it achieved speeds of over 170 MPH on the back straightaway. It was also drag raced a couple of times and achieved a best 1/4 mile ET of 9.944 at 141.5 MPH. Not bad for a street car on pump gas!

Eventually I ran out of things to improve and wanted a new challenge. Consequently the car was sold in August of 2012.
